2016 Nissan Qashqai 1.5L Diesel · DA16 FNN

The 2016 Nissan Qashqai presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 66,774 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening or recurring defects across its inspected history. The mileage pattern sits at typical levels for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 47,709 miles on 5 July 2022, rising to 53,974 miles by 4 July 2023, then 66,774 miles at the 22 July 2025 test. That equates to roughly 6,200 miles per year, close to the 6,677 annual average for its age. The supplied history is sparse, with only four entries and a clean failure-free run aside from an anomalous duplicate entry on 5 July 2022 where the same mileage shows both a fail and a pass with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative re-test rather than a genuine fault. Given the absence of flagged wear in the MOT data, the buyer should still verify in person the condition of consumable items the annual test may not capture between visits. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall ageing, brake disc wear, and suspension bushes for deterioration linked to the vehicle's lower annual use. A car covering under 7,000 miles a year can stand idle for periods, so check for corrosion on structural members and underbody components, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold-start conditions. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic statutory upkeep current, though the duplicate 2022 entry warrants a glance at the full DVSA certificate to rule out omitted minor advisories. No serious structural or mechanical risks are evidenced by the data supplied.
